Conditional Value-at-Risk and Average Value-at-Risk: Estimation and Asymptotics

Chun, So Yeon; Shapiro, Alexander; Uryasev, Stan - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2011

We discuss linear regression approaches to conditional Value-at-Risk and Average Value-at-Risk (Conditional Value-at-Risk, Expected Shortfall) risk measures. Two estimation procedures are considered for each conditional risk measure, one is direct and the other is based on residual analysis of...

Generalized Marginal Risk

Keel, Simon; Ardia, David - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2009

An important aspect of portfolio risk management is the analysis of the overall risk with respect to the allocations to the underlying assets. Marginal risk is the traditional tool used by portfolio managers to accomplish this. However, this metric is only meaningful when a position is levered...

What Is the Best Risk Measure in Practice? A Comparison of Standard Measures

Emmer, Suzanne; Kratz, Marie; Tasche, Dirk - HAL - 2013

Expected Shortfall (ES) has been widely accepted as a risk measure that is conceptually superior to Value-at-Risk (VaR). At the same time, however, it has been criticized for issues relating to backtesting. In particular, ES has been found not to be elicitable which means that backtesting for ES...

The Impact of Systemic Risk on the Diversification Benefits of a Risk Portfolio

Busse, Marc; Dacorogna, Michel; Kratz, Marie - HAL - 2013

Risk diversification is the basis of insurance and investment. It is thus crucial to study the effects that could limit it. One of them is the existence of systemic risk that affects all the policies at the same time. We introduce here a probabilistic approach to examine the consequences of its...

A mathematical resurgence of risk management: an extreme modeling of expert opinions

Guegan, Dominique; Hassani, Bertrand - HAL - 2011

The Operational Risk Advanced Measurement Approach requires financial institutions to use scenarios to model these risks and to evaluate the pertaining capital charges. Considering that a banking group is composed of numerous entities (branches and subsidiaries), and that each one of them is...

The pricing of correlated default risk: evidence from the credit derivatives market

Zhu, Haibin; Tarashev, Nikola A. - Deutsche Bundesbank - 2008

In order to analyze the pricing of portfolio credit risk – as revealed by tranche spreads of a popular credit default swap (CDS) index – we extract risk-neutral probabilities of default (PDs) and physical asset return correlations from single-name CDS spreads. The time profile and overall...

Estimating the risk-adjusted capital is an affair in the tails

Canestraro, Davide; Dacorogna, Michel - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2010

(Re)insurance companies need to model their liabilities' portfolio to compute the risk-adjusted capital (RAC) needed to support their business. The RAC depends on both the distribution and the dependence functions that are applied among the risks in a portfolio. We investigate the impact of...
